haiku #512: Endless echo / footsteps on an empty house / once full of life

A live improv featuring two solo string patches played in unison recorded directly from a 1983 DK Synergy II+, an early additive 32 oscillator digital synthesizer recently returned to working order at Hideaway Studio.  The Synergy is a direct relative of the Crumar GDS and the Bell Labs Synthesizer known as Alles Machine.

These strings are 100% synthesized.. not a sample in sight here - and all the more amazing considering the age of this all-digital beast!

Original Composition & Recording Copyright D.A.Wilson, Hideaway Studio 2014.

in dream world
was I laughing at a turtle?
winter seclusion

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

From the Haiku Guy website:

“Perhaps Issa’s dream is symbolic. Like a turtle, he is hunkered inside his shell (hut), waiting out the harsh winter weather. Or, William Nicholas offers a different interpretation, noting that the turtle is linked with good luck and longevity in Japan. In 1812 Issa was still a bachelor; he married two years later. At this point in his life he longed for the good luck of marriage and family life, hence the dream turtle’s teasing laughter?”

Marco Lucchi - Once full of life [Naviar Haiku # 512] w/Night Note

I was moved when I read this weeks Haiku from Naviars own Marco Sebastiano Alessi.
There was an idea in my head almost straight away, a repeating piano set to a echo delay effect that could potentially never end. Anf then the feeling of an empty house, an old distorted 78rpm record playing as if from a distance (of time?) and the feeling of a place of memory but now all gone.

Empty Echoes [naviarhaiku512]

A live improvisation by D.A.Wilson shortly following restoration of 1982 Digital Keyboards Synergy number 1032 at Hideaway Studio running in conjunction with the SynHCS host editor on a Kaypro II CP/M computer under HxC disk emulation.  

In this recording you can hear the Synergy's unusual continuously variable random vibrato in action.  The Synergy is an all digital synthesizer with 32 oscillators featuring both FM and additive synthesis.  It is a direct relative of the 1979 Crumar GDS.

Original Composition & Recording Copyright D.A.Wilson 2015.
